Personality[]
Kakeru is a serious and confident person and is popular among other students, to the point of being a ladykiller. He is often seen with his headphones and a handbook, which is an album of his little sister. He is a caring brother, but can go overboard in trying to protect her.
While he can be hardworking, he is often seen slacking when it comes to the Beautification Club's activities.
Story[]
Episode 6 - Appassionato[]
Kakeru offers his help to Sakutasuke who seems to be troubled by their song's lack of online sales. He offers to help them shoot a PV (promotional video) because his little sister is a fan of the group, filming, producing and editing the PV.
Relationships[]
Rei Ichijodani[]
Rei is the president of the Beautification Club. Kakeru is often tired by his club activites and tends to slack off on his duties given to him by Rei. The latter remedies this by letting Hajime and Masaru, two of their juniors, carry him around to do club work. Regardless, Rei cares about Kakeru, and allows him to take a break from the Beautification Club's activities, or offers to help clear his schedule when he is troubled with the activities in both the Beautification and Theatre Clubs.
Rei also sewed the outfits for Kakeru and Shiro's Happy Synthesizer duet.
Hinata Mitsutsuka[]
Hinata is a Kakeru's friend. Kakeru befriended him because both of them have little sisters. Kakeru is therefore always talking to Hinata about his sister, and despite it being bothersome, Hinata is still willing to listen and hang out with him albeit being slightly irked by Kakeru's eccentric nature.
Shiro Nanao[]
Shiro is Kakeru's close friend of Kakeru, and often talks about his sister to. Shiro is much harsher on Kakeru than Hinata for his sister complex and openly berates him for it. Shiro also frequently texts Kakeru's sister, something they get into fights for. Putting Kakeru's sister complex aside, the two do get along well.
Hajime Kiriyama and Masaru Gohonmatsu[]
They frequently have to carry Kakeru like a mikoshi (portable shrine) to get him to do his club work, which Kakeru does not like. Their relationship isn't all that bad, as they call Kakeru by his first name ("Kakeru-san") and admire him. They both say that they consider carrying Kakeru around as their hobby, much to his dismay.
